Sheet Pan Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Description
The Sheet Pan Roasted Red Pepper Soup starts with roasting chopped red bell peppers, scored tomatoes, white onion, garlic cloves, seasoning, and fresh thyme on a sheet pan with olive oil until the vegetables are golden and tender. This roasting caramelizes natural sugars and softens the ingredients, building complexity in the flavor base.
After roasting, the ingredients are transferred to a high-speed blender where canned coconut milk and lemon juice are added to create a creamy and bright texture. The soup is blended until smooth, producing a velvety consistency with a balance of sweet roasted vegetables and citrus acidity.
Serving the soup hot with a drizzle of oil and fresh thyme highlights the fresh herbaceous contrast to the roasted depth. This soup is adaptable; you can substitute vegetables like carrots or squash to alter the flavor and color while maintaining its roasted character and creamy texture.
